Public institutions, too, face a range of threats – from global recession, resurgent terrorism and a stream of appalling natural disasters. For leaders in such organisations, these crisis situations can present both opportunities and threats. How they lead through such challenging times will propel their careers to new heights – or destroy them completely.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eCrisis Leadership\u003c\/i\u003e examines the challenges faced by leaders at each stage of the crisis ‘lifecycle’, from the instant they learn of the crisis, through to moments of critical decision-making and the final tumultuous days.

It's no surprise, then, that our fascination with stories of leaders overcoming great adversity is endless.  This interest has been exacerbated in recent years as every organisation in the world has found itself in a crisis at some level, whether due to a collapse in sales, an unexpected spike in demand, a logistics nightmare or the sheer uncertainty that the pandemic has wrought.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLeading from the Frontline\u003c\/i\u003e offers multiple perspectives of leadership from across multiple types of crisis.

It looks at the challenges they faced, the decisions they were forced to make, the personal pressures they encountered, the lessons they learned and the mistakes they made. It also examines how the crisis they responded to subsequently changed their organisation or the environment in which they operate. Including issues of a medical, socio-political, environmental and military nature, while featuring a range of reputational crises case studies, \u003ci\u003eLeading from the Frontline\u003c\/i\u003e is essential reading for any leader to prepare their organisation for uncertain futures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56368895951221,"sku":"9781472990334","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}]}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/collections\/author-tim-johnson.oembed","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
